LeVert is not efficient or consistent enough from deep.


His 3pt% dropped in Atlanta but his TS% sustained somehow. He's a pretty useful jack of all trade kind of player who will be good in their young locker room. I'm sure JBB is very happy.
Sure but he's not a flamethrower like Bease from deep.


The Heat traded for Duncan Robinson.

Yeah, i saw they traded Jimmy Neutron to the Pistons. I thought it was awful as a 3 year deal but on the GB they said it is non guaranteed year 3 and partially guaranteed year 2, much easier pill for them to swallow.

Brobley playing for the Warriors in the Cali Classic. Not sure if it will carry over to Vegas or not.

Love just traded to the Jazz, they probably buy him out.

Do we have any interest or does he finally team up with LeBron on the Lakers?

I’d be content for him to ride it out in LA.

Not opposed to him on a min deal and wrapping him in bubble wrap for the LNJ colitis flares. But, he doesn’t check a need other than more veteran depth.

Not really about basketball, but wouldn't hurt to set a precedent for a vet min Kevin Love retirement tour; kind of show what's in store for other players that are in good graces with the team (not just talking LeBron).

And in a pinch, Kevin can still grab a rebound and knock down a 3.

The Cavs need a bigger body. I tend to give Altman a lot more slack than the average Cavs fan, but they need someone who can push back at 5.

Is there a player fitting that description, that is a free agent? If so, will they accept the vet min?

The only 2 bigs i see are Horford and Deandre Jordan. Horford is publicly contemplating retirement.

Cavs may be better off trying to find vet PG depth/insurance.

Vuc may get bought out.

Isn't that guy as soft as tissue paper? Also, idk if he'd pick the Cavs.

I understand, and if the Cavs want to spend n that and use the 15th spot, cool. He just doesn’t fill the team need at the 5.

I just don’t think he’d be happy with not playing meaningful minutes and riding out on the bench. Allen, Mobley, Wade, Nance Jr. and DeAndre Hunter is a lot of depth ahead of him. In LA, he can get 10 meaningful mpg.

I wouldn't mind a flier on Marvin Bagley III now that expectations on him have been reset. He's not a stretch big but he can score. Guys like Boucher, Achiuwa, Bryant are out there. (But yeah, the bruisers are gone and apparently not even cheap? A "washed" Capela still got $7m a year.)

Point of attack defense might be weaker depending on what Ball can give us now that Okoro is in Chicago, so I wouldn't mind Javonte Green back. Gary Payton II might be a fit. Ben Simmons? Lamar Stevens? Edit: De'Anthony Melton?

None of those seem particularly valuable in terms of title value, so the nostalgia value of Love might be the right call.

Jeremy Pargo may be 39 but i must say, that dude still has it. Watched him tear up the BIG3 in Cincy today.
